A code bank designed with Pascal in mind.
CodeSnip is an open source code bank for storing and viewing your code snippets. While it can manage snippets in any source language, it is focused mainly on Pascal and Delphi code for which additional features are available.
The program is available in both standard and portable editions.
CodeSnip can import code from the DelphiDabbler Code Snippets Database and the SWAG Pascal Code Collection.
The standard edition of CodeSnip is installed and removed using a Windows installer. Administrator privileges are required for installation.
The portable edition has no installer. Simply follow the instructions in the read me file that is included in the download.
The program should run on Windows 2000, with Internet Explorer 6 or later, although XP and IE 8 and later are recommended. But note that recent releases of CodeSnip have only been tested on Windows 10 & 11.
The following support is available to CodeSnip users:
There's also plenty of info available on how to compile CodeSnip from source - see below.
[^1]: The linked read-me file is the most recent version. It can change from release to release.
CodeSnip's source code is maintained in the delphidabbler/codesnip Git repository on GitHub. [^2]
The Git Flow methodology has been adopted for CodeSnip 4 development. The following branches are used:
master: Always reflects the state of the source code as of the latest release. [^3]develop: The head of this branch contains the latest v4 development code. Normal development of CodeSnip 4 takes place in feature branches that are then merged into develop.feature/<feature-name>. Normally such branches are only used locally, but occasionally some feature branches may be pushed to the main repository.You will find other branches in the repository. These are either experimental or abandoned. To find out more about them switch to the required branch and read its README.md file.
[^2]: Up to and including v4.13.1 the source code was kept in a Subversion repository on SourceForge. It was converted to Git in October 2015 and imported into GitHub. All releases from v3.0.0 are marked by tags in the form
version-x.x.xwherex.x.xis the version number. None of the Subversion branches made it through the conversion to Git, so to see a full history look at the old SourceForge repository.[^3]: All the converted Subversion code was committed to
master, making it a copy of the old Subversiontrunk. As suchmastercontains various development commits along with numerous commits related to management of Subversion. After release 4.13.1, and the the first commit of this read-me file,mastercontains only commits relating to actual releases.
If you want to compile CodeSnip 4 from source code you will need the rather long-in-the-tooth Delphi XE. See this FAQ to find out why.
Full instructions on setting up the build environment are provided in Build.html.
Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for details of how to contribute to the CodeSnip project.
⛔ Contributions to experimental and abandoned branches are not accepted.
The change log can be found in the file CHANGELOG.md. [^4]
[^4]: CodeSnip v4.15.1 and earlier did not have
CHANGELOG.md. Instead, some versions maintained a separate change log for each major version in theDocs/ChangeLogsdirectory.
A summary of CodeSnip's license can be found in LICENSE.md and the complete license text is in Docs\License.html. [^5]
[^5]: The linked license files relate to the latest release. However, the license file names and content can change between releases, so if you need to see an older version, select the relevant
version-x.x.xtag to find the appropriate file.
The CodeSnip Compiling & Source Code FAQ may be useful if you have any queries about re-using the CodeSnip source code in other projects.
Report bugs and requests for new features are welcome. Please see the Issues section of CONTRIBUTING.md for information about how to proceed.
